Fred Drake ebbd14d7c2 Clarified a couple of issues for the startElement*() handlers:
- the attrs value may be re-used by the parser, so the implementation
  cannot rely on owning the object.
- an element with no namespace encountered in namespace mode will have a URI
  of None, not "" (startElementNS() only).

Fixed a couple of minor markup issues as well.

Tim Peters 36515e28ed Since the MAGIC number scheme is going to break on January 1st, document
what it is more carefully and point out some of the subtleties.

Fred Drake 8188e792d9 assert.h was not always included by Python.h; make sure we import it for
older versions.  (Thanks to Martijn Faassen.)

Fred Drake ef6373a4f6 Exhibit good form in C code: always provide docstrings in method tables, and
always fill in all slots of table entries.
Fixed a few minor markup errors.

Fred Drake 50ecc15d05 Add omitted word for clarity. 2001-11-17 06:39:18 +00:00
Fred Drake 3176b08874 Update to use more modern calling conventions; also avoid a magic number
in the function table.  Add a docstring for the function as well, since
examples should show good form.

Barry Warsaw 5e17d20743 Add a clarification that the email package always deals in native line
endings, and that it is smtplib's job to convert those to RFC 2821
line endings when sending the message.

Fred Drake dd2487d759 Post-release bumps. Do *NOT* merge into the 2.2b2 branch. 2001-11-16 17:34:38 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 012852ba7f Merged in NEWS changes from the r22b2 branch. 2001-11-16 16:17:27 +00:00
Fred Drake 666ca80b63 Clean up some markup a little bit more. Make this work with the PDF format,
which is a little more strict than the other formats on some things (fixable,
but not tonight).

Fred Drake 5545219bf6 Document the urlsplit() and urlunsplit() functions. 2001-11-16 03:22:15 +00:00
Fred Drake 5751a22ede Fix parsing of parameters from a URL; urlparse() did not check that it only
split parameters from the last path segment.  Introduces two new functions,
urlsplit() and urlunsplit(), that do the simpler job of splitting the URL
without monkeying around with the parameters field, since that was not being
handled properly.
This closes bug #478038.
2001-11-16 02:52:57 +00:00
Fred Drake c66ff203bb Switched a couple of sections around.
Cleaned up some markup nits.
Add a few more of the Tk-related modules to the list of modules.
2001-11-16 01:05:27 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 69b2d75fc7 A few minor updates to make it clear(er) that pickle should be used
instead of marshal for object serialization.

Fred, please proofread!
2001-11-15 23:55:12 +00:00
Barry Warsaw 9b481ff3d6 A change to sync with pickle.py:
find_class(): We no longer mask all exceptions[1] by transforming them
into SystemError.  The latter is definitely not the right thing to do,
so we let any exceptions that occur in the PyObject_GetAttr() call to
simply propagate up if they occur.

[1] Note that pickle only masked ImportError, KeyError, and
AttributeError, but cPickle masked all exceptions.
2001-11-15 23:45:26 +00:00
Barry Warsaw bf4d959d28 Two changes:
load_inst(): Implement the security hook that cPickle already had.
When unpickling callables which are not classes, we look to see if the
object has an attribute __safe_for_unpickling__.  If this exists and
has a true value, then we can call it to create the unpickled object.
Otherwise we raise an UnpicklingError.

find_class(): We no longer mask ImportError, KeyError, and
AttributeError by transforming them into SystemError.  The latter is
definitely not the right thing to do, so we let the former three
exceptions simply propagate up if they occur, i.e. we remove the
try/except!
2001-11-15 23:42:58 +00:00
Barry Warsaw f595fd975d A massive rewrite affecting both the pickle and cPickle module
documentation.  This addresses previously undocumented parts of the
public interfaces, the differences between pickle and cPickle,
security concerns, and on and on.

Fred please proofread!
2001-11-15 23:39:07 +00:00
Barry Warsaw d44e7ad702 Minor updates to add more pointers to the pickle documentation, and to
clarify some of the interface.

Fred Drake 482b9a8c0c Clean up the descriptions of multi-signature functions so we do the right

Guido van Rossum 3fc08d23c7 Group dict[ionary] news together; and use dict() instead of
dictionary().
2001-11-15 20:33:10 +00:00
Guido van Rossum 3d27df0734 Correct the description of mixed multiple inheritance: the code
special-cases classic classes, it doesn't do anything about other
cases where different metaclasses are involved (except for the trivial
case where one metaclass is a subclass of the others).  Also note that
it's metaclass, not metatype.

Tim Peters 144b98dab8 More simple test cases for mixed classic+new multiple inheritance. 2001-11-14 23:56:45 +00:00
Tim Peters a91e9646e0 Changing diapers reminded Guido that he wanted to allow for some measure
of multiple inheritance from a mix of new- and classic-style classes.
This is his patch, plus a start at some test cases from me.  Will check
in more, plus a NEWS blurb, later tonight.

Jack Jansen 1062e706e5 Don't initialize tp_type statically, it won't work on Windows. Spotted
by Thomas Heller (patch 459442).
2001-11-14 15:48:13 +00:00
Jack Jansen 418c3b1e26 OSX tests used specific version numbers to test for new features and
used the default Darwin/* for the old code. Reversed those tests so
that compatibility code is in a switch leg with a specific version and
newer systems take the default leg.

This should allow Python to build on OSX 10.1.1 (which jumps from Darwin/1.4
to Darwin/5.1 due to a new numbering scheme).

Tim Peters 00cafa0f76 Removed print that executes only on Unix boxes; that made it impossible
to have single "expected output" file.
2001-11-13 23:39:47 +00:00
Tim Peters 5ebfd36afa CVS patch #477161: New "access" keyword for mmap, from Jay T Miller.
This gives mmap() on Windows the ability to create read-only, write-
through and copy-on-write mmaps.  A new keyword argument is introduced
because the mmap() signatures diverged between Windows and Unix, so
while they (now) both support this functionality, there wasn't a way to
spell it in a common way without introducing a new spelling gimmick.
The old spellings are still accepted, so there isn't a backward-
compatibility issue here.
2001-11-13 23:11:19 +00:00
Barry Warsaw afeb2a4d89 PyOS_getsig(), PyOS_setsig(): The minimal amount of work to avoid the
uninitialized memory reads reported in bug #478001.

Note that this doesn't address the following larger issues:

- Error conditions are not documented for PyOS_*sig() in the C API.

- Nothing that actually calls PyOS_*sig() in the core interpreter and
  extension modules actually /checks/ the return value of the call.

Fixing those is left as an exercise for a later day.
